Julie's team was very helpful through every step of the process and provided guidance whenever there was an update in the case. the team was very kind in offering their time to answer questions tirelessly.

My wife and I strongly recommend the immigration law representation provided by the law firm of Oliver-Zhang Law. In particular, we are most grateful to Julie Oliver-Zhang and to her young associate Annjelica Slate. Brief history – my (now) wife had travelled from China to the States almost 5 years ago to visit her best friend whom she know from childhood in China. Her tourist visa soon expired. She wanted to stay in the U.S. Shortly thereafter, I met her and I fell in love with her. I wanted to marry her. And I wanted har to feel secure that she could remain in the U.S. I was familiar with Julie Oliver-Zhang as she is known by her lawyer peers as among the finest Immigration lawyers, as well as personal injury lawyers in Washington DC. Atty Julie Oliver-Zhang is a member in good standing and past governor of the DC Trial Lawyers Association, she has a prefect A-plus rating with Martindale Hubbell and an AVVO rating of 10 which is the highest rating for any lawyer. Clearly she is well respected by her fellow lawyers in Washington DC. I was delighted that she agreed to take on our case - with a mission to obtain a Green Card for my soon to be wife. Upon my first conversation with Julie, I was confident that we were in good hands. Her retainer agreement was reasonable. The staff at Oliver-Zhang law (Annjelica, Marcie, Rachel) were all up to date on the progress of our case, including but not limited issues such as asylum, my wife’s previous marriage in China which needed to dissolved (not an easy task to accomplish here in the U.S.). Our questions were always answered knowledgeably, with sound advice, on a timely basis. The Oliver-Zhang firm was well prepared to file the seemingly endless volume of forms with the U.S. Customs and Immigration Services (USCIS). Julie and her firm guided us to provide detailed family histories requited by the USCIS, and proof of our own wedding (following my wife’s Chinese divorce). The firm advised us about the medical history that USCIS must know about each of us, as well as the needed immunization vaccines that USCIS demands. I write this strong letter of recommendation of Oliver-Zhang law following the receipt of a Green Card for my wife! Now that my wife has her much valued Green Card she is a proud permanent resident of the United States. MA and XD

It has been a great pleasure for my husband and I working with the Oliver-Zhang Law team. Julie and her team’s level of professionalism with always keeping us updated and informed on any changes through my husband’s immigration process have been phenomenal! My husband is from the Dominican Republic and stayed in the US until his visa expired. Thankfully and somehow my mother found her law firm and referred us to them and our consultation left lasting impressions on us. We found it very accommodating that Julie has bilingual staff which helps people of diverse backgrounds to get their process started. My husband received his residency approximately 3 months after filing the paper work and we even got our interview waived. We believe due to Julie and her team being very thorough with requesting we provide very specific information, covered all basis for us and sped up the process. I highly recommend Oliver-Zhang Law to anyone looking to start their immigration process! Thank you again Julie, Annjelika, and Marcela and anyone else on the team we may not know of who contributed all of your hardwork to the start of my husband and I being given the opportunity to have a better life together!

Everyone has heard horror stories about how stressful the process of obtaining a marriage green card can be, but the team at Oliver-Zhang Law (especially Julie, Rachel and Annjelika) made it as painless as possible. They could not have been more helpful, courteous or friendly, no matter how many questions we raised throughout the journey. We felt like they were always in control, always had our back, and made sure we knew exactly where we were from start to finish. We can't thank them enough and will absolutely be recommending them to anyone we meet in a similar situation!

I’m writing to thank Ms. Oliver Zhang and her entire law firm for all of her hard work throughout our case. Thank her for helping us through this tough time. Thank her from the deepest recesses of my heart for all she has done for us. We are extremely grateful for all of her help, support, kindness and bearing with us through everything. After the car accident, it was stressful, we were so lost and confused. She stepped up to the plate in more ways than one. She always kept us informed about the status and very prompt in clearing our doubts and answering our questions. Our case is tough and complicated, she spent a lot of time and effort even weekends on gathering evidence, going through details and preparing the paperwork. Everyone at her law firm was kind and patient. We could’ve never asked for a better attorney. Her legal services meant so much to us. It was her that revived our spirits. We feel like we can finally start a new chapter after 3 years. Words are not enough to express our gratitude towards her support and help. We will definitely recommend Oliver-Zhang Law to everyone in need.

Julie Oliver-Zhang and Marcella, Annjelika, Rachel and their entire excellent team, went way beyond providing us with their legal expertise in our experience of our journey of marriage as a same sex couple and L becoming a permanent resident of the USA from Canada. Julie became more than our lawyer, she made us feel that she was a true friend we could turn to at any step of the process. Their guidance, support and true compassion in assisting us to create our new chapter of life was impeccable and heart felt. They patiently and thoroughly explained every step of the process, answering all of our questions, sometimes more than once! with the utmost respect and reassurance. We felt safe and as worry free as possible in what can be a very stressful experience. We absolutely, without a doubt recommend Julie and her team to whomever is in need of legal help. We are deeply grateful to Julie and her wonderful team. L and G

I found Julie and Rachel from various law firms on Google to help me apply for a marriage green card. First of all, I want to say that Julie and Rachel are definitely the most professional and trustworthy lawyers around DC. If anyone comes from New York like me and needs lawyers who speak Mandarin to help with immigration matters, trust me, they are the best. Very attentive to detail, and very patient in answer all kinds of questions, big or small. Unlike other lawyers who get impatient, their attitude from beginning to end is superb. Since I had a political asylum case previously, and I moved from New York to Virginia, I had a lot of thing that I didn’t understand and worried about, and I always have a lot of questions. But every time after I communicate with them, I had more confidence in my own case. With the backlog of a large number of cases during the pandemic, I think it was already really fast. I have introduced Julie and Rachel to friends. Their services well exceed their fees and are strongly recommended!

Not only do I recommend Attorney Juile Oliver-Zhang, but I guarantee that once you have used her services, you will not be looking any further either. Her response was very prompt and she is a very knowledgeable, compassionate, and trustworthy person. Her professionalism is amazing. She is an excellent attorney and I couldn't be happier I would never go anywhere else.

We cannot thank you enough for helping me to get my green card back. These past two years were a real challenge to me as a mother due to my daughter's illnesses, but you guided us along the way with the paperwork we need, steps to take next, required documents to prepare, with patience and sincerity. We really appreciate all of your help, professionally and personally.

To say that I’m thankful and grateful for Julie Oliver-Zhang’s services would be an understatement. After speaking to two other attorneys who weren’t willing to take on my “slip and fall” claim, Julie didn’t hesitate to represent me. The case took two years to get through and she never once wavered in her attention to detail, professionalism, or compassion for what I was going through. Julie is a tireless advocate for her clients, always putting their interests first, which made it so easy to trust her. With her guidance, persistence, and expertise she was able to win my case. If you’re looking for a full-service attorney, Julie Oliver-Zhang and her team are second to none.

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed working with the Oliver-Zhang Law team for my wife’s application for adjustment of status (from travel visa to permanent resident). At the start, we were simply seeking consultation about our options, but we immediately felt comfortable with them. Throughout the process, we had numerous phone conversations with Rachel as they helped figure out a strategy for us, and we were in contact with several members of their team at different points. We greatly appreciated their availability and how patiently they listened to our story and the special considerations we had. Moreover, they were very flexible and cooperative with us in devising an approach that we were comfortable with. The Oliver-Zhang Law team thoroughly prepared us for every step of the process. Prior to submitting our application, they helped us gather a wide range of supporting evidence. They also helped us organize and select evidence to include with our submission, and prepared a briefing that detailed our background and grounds for admissibility as well as outlined all of our supporting evidence. On top of that, they prepared multiple briefings to address to the special considerations we faced. Post submission, they stayed in contact with us anytime they received case notifications, helped us gather post-submission evidence, and continued to answer our questions. Once our interview was set, Julie led us through a comprehensive mock interview, and the team continued to write supporting documents and answer questions, even on the day of our interview. Our interview was a success, and my wife’s application was quickly approved thereafter. Overall, my wife and I confidently recommend Julie and her entire team to anyone looking for knowledgeable, experienced, prepared, and successful attorneys who are always available, willing to listen, and easy to work with.

After my son was hit by an Uber driver while we were visiting Washington, D.C. from New York City, it was daunting task to find a lawyer far away from home. Fortunately, a friend who practices negligence law in NYC researched the Washington bar on my behalf and learned about the extraordinary practice of Julie Oliver-Zhang, Esquire. As a Chinese immigrant not comfortable in English (yes, this comment is written with the assistance of Google translate!), I needed an attorney who could communicate with me in Mandarin. Ms. Oliver-Zhang and her dedicated colleagues explained every aspect of my case to me with the greatest patience. They advised me over many years and were vigilant in standing up to Uber and the insurance company. The result was an outstanding settlement for my son who has suffered greatly and deserved the best legal representation. Thank you to Ms. Zhang and her extraordinary colleagues — Rachel, Amanda, & Kelly. You give a great name to the legal profession. Needless to say, I recommend them with boundless enthusiasm to anyone who wants the finest representation.
